Donald Trump slams The Apprentice movie as “cheap & defamatory” in online rant

As a lifelong fan who has watched every episode of The Apprentice and followed Donald Trump’s career since the ’70s, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and trepidation as I head to the theater to watch The Apprentice movie.


As the U.S. election draws near, it feels fitting to discuss the upcoming release of “The Apprentice” film, a gripping biography depicting Donald Trump’s climb up the American ladder during the ’70s and ’80s.

Featuring Sebastian Stan portraying Donald Trump and Jeremy Strong as his guiding figure Roy Cohn, The Apprentice fearlessly delves into the less palatable aspects of the former President’s journey towards stardom and wealth.

Indeed, the sensational narrative of the latest film sparked criticism from the actual business magnate, who threatened legal action as far back as May. However, his lawyers issued a cease-and-desist order instead, and the movie, titled The Apprentice, was still premiered on October 11.

On October 14, Trump expressed his views on Truth Social, a social media site often compared to Twitter, which he was banned from in 2021. He derided The Apprentice as a “phony and unsophisticated” production and publicly hoped that the film would flop.

He wrote: “It’s a cheap, defamatory, and politically disgusting hatchet job, put out right before the 2024 Presidential Election, to try and hurt the Greatest Political Movement in the History of our Country, ‘MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!’ My former wife, Ivana, was a kind and wonderful person, and I had a great relationship with her until the day she died.

Despite his questionable reputation as a journalist, Gabe Sherman, often criticized for his work, was aware of the doubts surrounding him. However, he persisted in disregarding this fact.

It’s unfortunate that individuals who behave in such disrespectful ways towards a significant Political Movement, the MAGA2024, are given the freedom to express and act in ways that can potentially harm it. This movement is larger than any single person.

One of the most controversial scenes in The Apprentice depicts Trump sexually assaulting his then-wife Ivana, which was described by her in real-life depositions. She would later say those allegations were “totally without merit” after being made during a period of tension.
